Choice fields: Flexible options for any scenario
Show a list of options in a neat drop-down format—ideal when space is limited and you want users to select a single answer.
Display all options up front, but allow only one to be chosen. Useful for clear, single-choice selections.
Add simple checkboxes for individual statements—like agreeing to terms or confirming a preference.
Let people pick one or more answers at once. Perfect for questions where more than one option can apply.
Make your choices visual—use images as options so people can decide by seeing, not just reading. Great for product catalogues or design approvals.
Present a table of questions that share the same set of answer choices. Ideal for comparing responses or collecting ratings in a structured way.
Field properties: Smarter choices behind the scenes
Assign Values
Add assigned values (Numeric, text, and email) to each option in your choice fields to power calculations, pricing, or automated workflows behind the scenes. This is especially useful for creating cost estimators, order forms, or review forms with weighted responses. For example, you can assign price amounts to product options or custom values for conditional rules. Zoho Forms automatically uses these values for calculations and reports, saving you time and manual work.
Global Choice List
Maintain consistency across all your forms by creating a central list of standard choices —like country names, departments, job roles, or product categories. Update the list in one place and instantly reflect the changes wherever that list is used. This means no more repetitive editing and fewer mistakes across forms.
Import Choices
Speed up form building by importing long lists of choices directly from files. Upload a CSV or Excel sheet with hundreds of cities, branch locations, or employee names in seconds. This bulk import feature removes the hassle of adding items one by one, especially for large or frequently changing datasets.
Choice Availability
Make your options work smarter by limiting how many times an option can be selected. Choice availability is perfect for event registrations with limited seats, slot booking, or product pre-orders—once the quota is reached, the option automatically becomes unavailable to future respondents. This real-time availability saves you from awkward multiple bookings without the headache of constant manual tracking.
Every response matters! Make sure your forms are working smarter behind the scenes with enhanced choice fields. Zoho Forms can help you streamline complex workflows, reduce manual effort, and keep your forms clear and reliable—no matter how many choices you offer.
